I am a freshman here at our high school, class of 2014. I am glad to be out of the horrid deathtrap known as middle school and move on to the exciting and new world known as high school. You will always know me as a texter. If you have ever seen me on campus, I am the girl who always has her phone by her face texting like there is no tomorrow. I am also known as the girl who loves Spanish. It is a fun class and I love all the activities we get to do. Senora Leaf is an awesome teacher and she makes the class fun and exciting, but I do love all my other classes and all my other teachers to. So in conclusion, I am excited to be in a new school, and I'm ready to have new and fun experiences with all the new teachers I will meet and all the new friends I will make. This will be a new and exciting experience for myself and I'm ready to start my new and exciting life.
One of my goals for high school is getting a 4.0 grade point average and maintaining it. When I graduate from Foothill as a senior, I want to graduate as valedictorian.Getting good grades is very important to me. Having good grades opens so many doors for getting into a good college and it will also help you get a good well-paying job when you are older. For me all that is true, but another reason that grades are important to me is that they ensure if I get to ride horses. If I get good grades in school, I can continue to compete and to ride.

Next, I will talk about my family. One of my goals for my family is to not fight with my mom as much and to help her out around the house, or anywhere really, whenever she needs it. I also want to spend more time with my dad. He is always busy, but some how, he has time to take me to all the activities that I participate in. I also want to be able to talk to my parents about problems that I have. Normally, I never really tell my parents anything other than saying when I get home, "Yah, school was good." To me, I believe that it is important to talk to your parents because they can help you solve and issue (if it is parentally solvable) and it also helps so you don't keep things bottled inside yourself.
Another goal that I have for myself is to make new friends at this high schoool and to keep in touch with old friends at other schools. Making new friends is important because it helps you become more social and more willing to do new things. It also helps you have new and fun experiences. Although, I still want to keep in touch and hang out with some of my old friends, Shannon and Naomi. My friend Shannon goes to VHS, and my other friend Naomi goes to VNHS. They are more than just frineds to me, they are my sisters. I always want them in my life because they are encouraging and always willing to help and talk out issues that we have.
Another goal that I have is for my physical health. I do believe my weight is fine, but I think I should at least work out more. Since I ride horses, it is very important to build up muscle and to maintain a healthy diet. I also swim so all this stuff applies to swimming as well. Living a healthy life ensures that you will possibly live longer and you won't develope as many health issues when you are older. Also, eating healthier can actually help you do better in school because it can make you more alert and focused in the classroom.
All these goals remind me how hard I have to work to reach some of them, and how, even though I amy have some bumps on the road, to leave the past behind and start a new. I am so excited to be here and I am ready to take on my new life.
